2196 Magical Dinner Party
The spacious and huge banquet hall of the East Palace is filled with round tables full of oriental charm, and ten people and one table with guests' names hanging on the back of each chair.
It seems that the owner has thought about it. These tablecloths with exquisite embroidery are the top-notch Su embroidery, embroidered with traditional Chinese longevity patterns, especially the table at the front is covered with bright yellow tablecloths that only the emperor can use, with gold thread embroidered with Fulu and Shou three stars, as well as bats and ten thousand characters.
Needless to say, this is the position of the queen. Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi's seats are right around the queen.
At that time, long banquet tables were popular in Europe, or they were buffets for free. There was no such round table banquet, and everyone felt extremely novel for a while.
Circle is a kind of artistic conception advocated in Chinese philosophy. In the round world, the hierarchical relationship between people is weakened and harmony is increased. This atmosphere naturally brings the relationship between banqueters closer.
Let’s look at the porcelain placed on the table. These are not ordinary Chinese export porcelains. These are a batch of royal porcelains specially produced by Xiao Letian in Jingdezhen controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs through the relationship between the Hunan Army.
The Hunan Army and the Chinese people are unmatched in Jiangnan. Whoever dares to take care of the transactions in Jingdezhen's Interior Affairs Office officials have to stuff the orders for the Forbidden City backwards.
These porcelains reflect the highest level of Chinese porcelain making craftsmanship at that time, especially the series of flower tea bowls, which were painted with fine brushwork, including peonies, plum blossoms, orchids, crabapples, and hibiscus... There were thirty or forty kinds of them. The guests who arrived first walked to their seats and saw carefully that there was a layer of condensed water droplets on the tea bowl.
I opened the cover bowl and looked in. It was a bowl of black tea soup of unknown variety. Carefully tasted a bite of cold and sweet taste, which directly calmed the heat.
"Oh! God, what kind of oriental drink is this? It's so strange..."
The waiter and maid in charge of the banquet were divided into two groups: Britain and China. The British waiter quickly came over politely and whispered, "Dear Countess, today's banquet provides two kinds of drinks to cool down, one is called sour plum soup for Chinese people, and the other is called medicinal herbal tea..."
"What you just tasted was iced sour plum soup. If I were to recommend it, I would recommend you to try herbal medicine... To be honest, I drank a lot of it today, but I was busy all day, but no one was in heatstroke!"
The temperature today is even higher than yesterday, at 36 or 7 degrees. British people who are used to cool climates will suffer from a lot of heatstroke every year when they encounter such weather, let alone those who are busy working.
When I heard that there were such good things, European ladies who had eaten too much meat and had rough and oily skin, fell in love with fire, hurry up and try it.
Xiao Letian came to Europe this time with many women. Of course, these women were not for his enjoyment. These women have received great etiquette training, including Xiao Letian, who brought out all the etiquette training for later state banquets.
He has a dignified manner and elegant appearance, and even his smile has eight teeth, one more or one less.
Not to mention the appearance of these maids, they are all the most representative oriental gentle style. This row of girls are all wearing retro Hanfu, all with jingchalets, all with a water-like old pit jade, and their bodies are covered with dragon and phoenix patterns.
As you walk, you can see the rhythmic swaying of the thorns on their heads and the jingling of jade on their bodies.
There are some special things for Chinese people to wear jade. The ancients said that jade is an auxiliary tool for etiquette and law. Court officials should wear jade on their bodies when they go to court, which is to regulate people's behavior.
If your actions are a little faster than the natural jade artifacts make noisy noises, then this behavior is rude!
Wearing jade can force people to be more elegant, cautious and cautious in their behavior.
Such a group of beauties with strong oriental charm appeared at the venue. At that time, all the European women's eyes were red. They were so angry that they pinched their husbands' thighs. Those dirty men were already drooling.
Bowls of Chinese herbal tea after bowls of Chinese herbal tea were brought to the front of the maids. They should not be rude in diplomatic occasions. These ladies could only suppress their jealousy and nodded in thanks.
It is also a cold herbal tea, but it has a strong smell of Chinese medicine. I have the intention to not drink it, but this is what I just wanted, so I couldn't help but try it with my nose.
As soon as the herbal tea was put in, the lady frowned immediately. It was not because of the problem with the herbal tea, but because they suddenly discovered that this strange-smelling drink actually had a unique taste in the mouth, which was not as difficult as expected.
It was sweet and cold, and after it entered the throat, a cool air surged up in my heart.
"God! What kind of strange oriental drink is this? I actually drank an oriental drink that is more magical than tea..."
The Countess is a fat woman who has no meat and has reached menopause. She loves to eat meat, drink alcohol, and menopause. In addition, the heat is unbearable, the Countess suffers from severe oral ulcers and constipation.
I have seen countless doctors but it has no effect because this is completely a disease caused by living habits. If I don’t change my living habits, it is useless to just think about using Western medicine to regulate it.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this hot summer weather is full of meat and overeating, and there is nothing that can cause heat. A cup of traditional Chinese herbal tea is completely correct.
The Countess felt that a bowl of herbal tea had been in her stomach, and his whole heart fire fell down. He shouted that magic was too magical and desperately recommended it to her sisters.
To be honest, these European nobles who live a wealthy life all have some problems with their diet. The high-protein and high-fat diet structures are basically prone to some symptoms of inflammation. In addition, the weather is really hot enough, so everyone is full of anger.
When there is fire, it must be discharged. The oriental herbal tea carefully prepared by Huang Xie Doctor happened to have their symptoms. Soon, the guests present drank more than two bowls of deliciously.
Especially the countess was the most massive amount, she drank four bowls alone, and her husband next to her advised her several times but it was useless.
After all, herbal tea is a drug for ejaculation. If you drink too much, you will definitely have stomach problems. As expected, the countess soon felt a burst of churning in her stomach and did not dare to endure it. She hurried to look for the bathroom.
For twenty minutes, when the count saw his wife again, he was surprised to find that the wife looked relaxed and laughed.
"My God, such a magical herbal tea. This is the first time I feel so smooth... I feel like my stomach is hollowed out, and all the old goods are discharged..."
"And this herbal tea is completely different from the laxatives prescribed by the doctor. The effect of the laxative will cause severe pain in the stomach, but this herbal tea will not. It will make you ejaculate but will not make you suffer. It is simply perfect..."
"Oh oh... God! Don't say it, this is a state banquet. How can you talk about such a topic on the dining table? It's so rude!" The old earl with a wig was almost crawling under the table.
Note: It’s Monday, I’ll ask for red envelopes to make the list in the third update! Book friends will have a wave of red envelopes!
